a bug running the software RESOLVED (DUPLICATE)

[fulizer]

runtime error 713
class not registered
you need the following file to be installed on your machine MSSTDFMT.DML
I tried reinstalling it and redownloading the software and then redowloading it but that wont work. for some reason it lets me run v2.1 so ill live until I get it working.
can someone get me a copy of the file and tell me what folder it needs to be it
(note I installed it in c:\Program files)

Are you running Vista?

[Testlund]

This is not a Vista issue. Here's how to solve it on a WinXP system:

Place the file MSSTDFMT.DLL in c:\windows\system32\

Click Start->Run... and type regsvr32 "c:\windows\system32\msstdfmt.dll and click OK.

Maybe an error message might show up displaying that it failed to register. Just ignore that message. DB should work now.

Here's the file (unzip it in the above mensioned directory):

I've resolved this as dup under the banner of the already bugged "we need a decent installer".

[fulizer]

ill thry the vista way but the thing is im running it on ME

[fulizer]

still not working

[Numsgil]

You followed Testlund's post?

[fulizer]

yes I have.
still not working

[Numsgil]

What happened when you typed "regsvr32 "c:\windows\system32\msstdfmt.dll"

[Peter]

Okay, you did get it working earlier, right.

So I think this is a new install of vista.

First run DB once as admin, it solves most problems at vista most times.

I've had a simular problem earlier with a new install of XP, so you could just miss one file.
Then do like Testlund said.

Try to put the DLL's it misses in the c:\windows\system32\ folder.
Click Start->Run... and type regsvr32 "c:\windows\system32\*dll_name*.dll and click OK.
And don't forget run it as admin, otherwise you will just get an acces denied error, I gues.


MSSTDFMT.DML?

DML? well, okay. I gues it is DLL, but inmidiatly I am doubting about the other letters now.  

[fulizer]

hmm it appears that I missed that bit
I will have to try again.
and how many times
IM RUNNING IT ON WINDOWS MILLENIUM EDITION!!!

[Peter]

I missed the bit that you used 'ME'.

Could also have to do with the fact that I often accidentily skip any part of text that hasn't got any reading-signs  

Okay few questions


Have you gotten DB running earlier on the ME computer?
What happened when you typed "regsvr32 "c:\windows\system32\msstdfmt.dll"?
Is this a new install of windows ME?

[fulizer]

I have been running my computer on me for about 3 years now
it fixed the problem but now it made the bots go stupid
agla minamalis wont repro, bot die in a few cycles, I flamawont move, even animal minamalis freezes every time it sees something.
what do I do now?

[Numsgil]

Panic

You probably have some sort of setting set weird.  Upload a sim with bots acting stupid.

[Peter]

Alright, this sound like my problem.

(be aware errors are displayed in dutch, I hope my translation is well enough, it will probably not look like the real english error)

Whenever I try to setup custum costs.

I get the error

''
runtime error 713
class not registrated
You need the following file
msstdfmt.dll
''

I have used the file from testlund and the one from dll-files.com for registrating it.

Whenever I try to register the file I am getting the error.

''
module msstdfmt.dll is loaded but the call to DLLRegisterServer has failed errorcode 0x8002801c.

For more information look at the errorcode onto the internet.

Any anwsers?
